Ancient building techniques will be practiced by continuing the construction of a log house that was started in 2017. The main focus will be on the upper part of the walls and the roof. Additionally, logs will be barked, a doorway will be cut into the walls, and several doors will be built to the already existing buildings such as the smithy and the barn.
The Celtic re-enactment group TEUTA BRIG was born in 2004 and in 2007, it has become the Associazione di Promozione Sociale “Popolo di Brig” (Social Promotion Association). Its main aims are to divulge the history and culture of the continental Celts of the second Iron Age (in particular III-II century BCE) through conferences, workshops, and historical recreation events.
From its establishment until the beginning of 2018, APS Popolo di Brig did over 200 events in Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, France, Swiss and England.
In 2009, the musical archaeology project BARDOMAGUS was born.
Moreover, in the same year, Popolo di Brig started with the first “historical march”, an experience that still goes on, year after year. Popolo di Brig was one of the first, or the first itself, to try-out this kind of experiment, at least among ancient age groups in Italy.

Historically, it was applied to produce accessories for garment, like belts, or as decoration in garments itself. In this workshop you will be able to produce your own tablets and create patterns.

The time has come again for us to offer activities and presentations from the Middle Stone Age to the 1st post-Christian Century: make glass beads yourself, look over the blacksmith's shoulder or with the wool dyer in their cauldron with plant brews. Be there when iron is formed, you will learn everything about food preparation from hunting to the preparation of dishes.
Thomas Mink is a professional blacksmith and expert in the experimental archeology of iron with great experience.
Historic crafts from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages are brought to life by specialists in the beautiful setting of the Open Air Museum Düppel in Berlin.
